    There was a "What If" Marvel comic from way back in the early '00s in which The Red Skull gets his hands on the Infinity Gauntlet. One of the first things he does is teleport himself to the center of Berlin, snap away all the food except for a single apple, and then instill everyone in the city with ravenous hunger. His theory is that the subsequent fierce fight for the food will reveal the most fit and able humans, while eliminating everyone else.

    Idk why that image leaps into my brain when I read this. Just something I'm forced to think about.
